"'The opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference.'
It's easy for love to turn into hate when a relationship is over. When one person feels like all they've done went unappreciated. But hatred takes up time and energy, and really...it's just a twisted form of love. And you can't let it go and you're not over it.
But not caring, that's the hard thing. It takes someone strong to let everything go...to resist the urge to make the other person hurt.
And I am strong."
~ Christopher Robin Therrian

"All I can say is that your beauty waltzes in perfect synch with the sense of style and caring that you display every day. You are a young woman; take it from an old whore with more miles on her than "refurbished" new car at an auction...you possess great charm and eyes that could tell a man the story of the universe by going from an A to a B musically. I count myself lucky to have you on my friend list." - Tonygfl, to me :)
After a While by Veronica ShoffstallAfter a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and sharing a life
and you learn that love doesn't mean possession
and company doesn't mean security
and loneliness is universal.And you learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises
and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open
with the grace of a woman
not the grief of a child.And you learn to build your hope on today
as the future has a way of falling apart in midflight
because tomorrow's ground can be too uncertain for plans
yet each step taken in a new direction creates a path
toward the promise of a brighter dawn.And you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden
and nourish your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.And you learn that love, true love,
always has joys and sorrows
seems ever present, yet is never quite the same
becoming more than love and less than love
so difficult to define.And you learn that through it all
you really can endure
that you really are strong
that you do have value
and you learn and grow
with every goodbye
you learn.
CASSANDRA
From the Greek Cassandra (Kassandra), which possibly meant "shining upon man", derived from (kekasmai) "to shine" and (aner) "man" (genitive). In Greek myth Cassandra was a Trojan princess, the daughter of Priam and Hecuba. She was given the gift of prophecy by Apollo, but when she spurned his advances he cursed her so nobody would believe her prophecies.
